LostDutchman Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 As my sites webmaster I took the "liberty" to spend some time searching for some good coin related domain names. If you have ever tried to register a good domain you will realize that most of them are taken and you have to buy it on the after market. I have 60 + domain names I own and I was thinking of selling some. I am going to take out an add in coin world but first Id like to offer them here for anyone who may want them. Right now I have them all pointing to my website but I can do whatever I want with them. These domains are fully transferable to anyone who would like to purchase them from me. If you have never done this its kind of like a real estate deal. The money is put in escrow and then once I transfer the name to you the money is released from escrow. Here is what I have available for sale. PM for more. 20lib.com asking $300 20saint.com asking $300 bustdollar.com asking $400 ccmorgans.com asking $1,500 centcollect.com asking $350 coinadvice.net asking $400 coindealz.com asking $200 coinshowonline.com asking $650 coinversation.com asking $225 doubleddies.com asking $750 fourdollargold.com asking $450 NEW! gsadollars.com asking $500 NEW! gsamorgans.com asking $500 germanstatescoins.com asking $300 highgradecents.com asking $300 highgradedollars.com asking $450 ilovecents.com asking $250 investorcoin.com asking $800 libertycoinage.com asking $500 morgancoinage.com asking $450 numistalk.com asking $650 omorgans.com asking $100 papermoneysales.com asking $850 papermoneytrader.com asking $450 peacedollartrader.com asking $200 pmorgans.com asking $100 rarecents.com asking $1000 rarecoininvest.com asking $850 rollhunter.com asking $100 slabtrader.com asking $900 smorgans.com asking $100 stellafour.com asking $100 threedollargold.com asking $450 usacent.com asking $800 usapatterns.com asking $300 webcoinshow.com asking $650 worldcoinage.com asking $800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 so how do you derive the ask prices? just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 just kind of a guess... hahah but there are people that do appraisals of domain names... and they are usually people in the industry that the domain is related to... not saying that qualifies me as anything in this case.... but basically they are just an educated guess.

slowly but surely Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Coinversation.com? If Hillary Clinton were a coin collector. She might have some more free time on her hands soon, I'll forward it on to her people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banivechi Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm not an expert, but numistalk.com at 650$ looks cheap by comparation. A well managed forum under this name can produce hundreds or more dollars monthly by adsense advertising system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henare Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 1.5 large for a domain? Oh my...I need to get a piece of this!*Goes off with a notebook muttering to self* well, of course, all the good ones are taken, but there are a handful of good names there ... the days of big dollars for domain name sales are long gone (and they will be unless more TLDs become available that people actually want to use). i do miss those days--i sold a domain name for $50k once ...

tabbs Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 all the good ones are taken Reminds me of the oh-so-brilliant German Numismatic Office (VfS) and the Federal Treasury. They issue a magazine called "prägefrisch.de", but don't expect a name that looks like a domain name to actually be their domain name. The website http://www.prägefrisch.de is owned and operated by some British company ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 correct me if I am wrong but if you had not registered these...they would have been 9.99 or some such small amount to register otherwise. Now THATS a racket!! Glad you didnt think of the domain I wanted to use before me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristofer Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'll have to find the story but right before the internet boom there was a guy who saw a lot of potential. He bought up a bunch of one word domain names and leased them, the man is a multi billionaire. He bought a lot of one word names and acronyms, fricken brilliant! I wish I had that kind of foresight. If you've ever tried finding a three letter acronym you know how smart this guy was. It's nearly impossible to find any short acronyms and all one word domains in english are now registered. even supercalifragilisticexpialidotious.com is taken!!! That's ridiculous. here are a couple of other fun ones http://www.thelongestdomainnameintheworlda...oreandmore.com/ http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502...0974944592.com/ http://www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcde...bcdefghijk.com/ http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyr...liogogogoch.com - Actual name of a welsh village and holds record for longest url for an actual city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henare Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeh 50 g's is a lot of money, must of been a good name. Can I also ask what it was called? q.com only four single-letter dot-com names were ever issued, and i had one of them. right after i got mine they locked up the rest, ostensibly for some sort of future domain name reorganization but that never actually happened. i registered q.com when domain names were free. i sold it for $50k to a startup company in atlanta. they never (afaik) made the site live (they had a placeholder page which had google-style ads), and sold the name to qwest communications for an unknown amount. i was going to point you to the internet archive site but they seem to be a bit hosed at the moment ... this link may work in the future ... they don't seem to have all the pages of my old web site but they have, at least, the top-level page.

henare Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Agree well played Henare! Great forward thinking. actually, it was total dumb luck. i just wanted a short email address ... i almost didn't sell it--i had been approached regularly over some months by one potential buyer who wanted to pay with stock in his not-yet-successful internet company (passed on that), and one week several buyers inquired ... and the rest is history. it came down to this: a cool email address ... or a down payment on a home?
